Working from home one day a week likely means that your company / colleagues are not set up to actually behave and interact with you normally during that day.

Working from home one day a week likely means that your company / colleagues are not set up to actually behave and interact with you normally during that day. Alternatively, if you're set up to work remotely every day, you come to work the same way you would in an office and you don't "wait until so-and-so is back in person" to get stuff done. One day a week might be a good experiment, but it's definitely not an indication of the way you would be working if it were full time and it's definitely not the same thing as remote work in my experience. Until everyone you work with works remotely (or "like they are remote") it is difficult to simulate what that work can look like when it gets going well.
